The new job is going very well, everyone is very friendly and they've arranged a long handover so I'm not floundering in the deep end. I was exhausted yesterday afternoon but as any job comes with a steep learning curve I just thought my brain was short-circuiting. Unfortunately when I got home I collapsed into bed with a nasty sore throat and tight chest.

As calling in sick on during your first week at work is tantamount to career suicide, I doped myself up this morning and dragged my sorry state in. Luckily everyone was very sympathetic and I was able to leave work a little earlier today.

Needless to say I haven't done any writing yet this week as I've been too busy lying in bed while whinging to The Ours about how sick I am. I love a good moan.

Oh!! Don't pass it onto me! I feel horrendously unsympathetic but there's a man at work with a horrible cold and I all but shrink from him when I see him. Hubby also says he feels snivelly. I'm thinking positive and determined not to get sick. Auditioning with a croak is not going to help my chances at all.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon! I've just got rid of an awful throat bug - hope it's not the one you've got because it took me four agonising weeks to get rid of!! Don't worry about the writing and moan lots!!!

A new member of staff at the library came down with a nasty cough/cold during her first week. I'm convinced it's mandatory with a new job. Like you, she daren't take any time off, even though we begged her to (not that we're selfish or anything!) Hope you feel better soon :o)
